One Swallow does not make a summer and a couple of blips does not a quit break. I really admire your courage in coming clean and starting again from Day One. Not only WILL you make it, you effectively already have.

The only other time I tried to stop was when I was 17. My 'slip' lasted for 10 years! So give yourself a bit of a break, you are persevering and that is *brilliant*

I know it's a cliche but if at first you don't succeed... these sayings have been in use for such a long time because there is truth in them. There is no shame in failure, it just means you have room for improvement and that is NOT a bad thing so long as you strive to give it your best shot.

Hello_D sorry to learn that your struggling with your quit, your not the first nor will you be the last to experience such trials and tribulations.

Please don't take on board others opinions. Opinions are like some of the less wholesome areas of our anatomy everybody has one.

Quitting isn't easy remember your dealing with an addiction and a very potent one.

When your struggling try and break your quit into manageable portions a day,an hour ,a minute a second even. Remember all we are asked to do is try and God loves a trier.

So it's on with the motley as they say and all the best with your quit and if it's any consolation to you I'm a recovering alcoholic of some 23+ years soberiety and I found quitting drinking easier than stopping smoking believe it or not.
